When Death comes knocking for the guy who literally created Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Titanfall, and Apex Legends, even the Grim Reaper has to show some respect. The man's been dropping legendary FPS titles since before most devs learned what a game loop was.

Death tries the whole "it's your time" routine, but then has to pause and ask the real question: "Was I a good game developer?" And honestly? Death already knows the answer. You don't get to revolutionize the FPS genre multiple times, spawn entire competitive ecosystems, and create movement mechanics so smooth they make parkour look clunky without earning your wings.

The Grim Reaper's response says it all: "No. I'm told you were the best." That's not just a participation trophyβ€”that's recognition from the universe itself. Respawn Entertainment didn't get that name by accident, and neither did Zampella's legacy in gaming history.
